Greetings All
Not sure what to write so I’ll attempt to keep this brief.
I’m a 32 years old male from Wales, United Kingdom who has never quite been able to get the hang of keeping friends. Due to a sheltered childhood I have been a loner from an early age and I guess never developed those all-essential social skills we’re supposed to have. I travelled a lot in my twenties, have lived and worked on all seven continents at some point, and as much as I liked it I think deep down it was a method to run away from feelings of loneliness and uselessness back home.
I don’t have much of a family, when I came back my role had been 'replaced' so don’t feel like I’m needed and friends are non-existent other than occasional acquaintances at my work. I have always been treated like an outsider, like an observer but never a participant and as much as I tried to convince myself that it is what I wanted, it really isn’t and the cracks are starting to show.
I’m absolutely dreading yet another Christmas spent home alone. I volunteer at a local children’s hospital but I can never get used to coming home to a dark and silent house. Really wish I could discover my purpose in life and to stop feeling so lost.
